Abstract

Video object detection and tracking in surveillance scenarios is a difficult task due to several challenges caused by environmental variations, scene dynamics and noise introduced by the CCTV camera itself. In this paper, we analyse the performance of an object detector and tracker based on background subtraction followed by a graph matching procedure for data association. The analysis is performed based on the CLEAR dataset. In particular, we discuss a set of solutions to improve the robustness of the detector in case of various types of natural light changes, sensor noise, missed detection and merged objects. The proposed solutions and various parameter settings are analysed and compared based on 1 hour 21 minutes of CCTV surveillance footage and its associated ground truth and the CLEAR evaluation metrics.
